Book Written by Clinton’s Pastor Pulled for Plagiarism

Despite being a pastor, Shillady’s book is no work of God.

The book even has a forward by Hillary Clinton herself.

Is it my imagination, or does everything tied to the Clinton’s turn out to be a fraud or a scam? Well, not even Hillary Clinton’s pastor is immune from that dark cloud. The Washington Post is reporting that the book Strong for a Moment Like This: The Daily Devotions of Hillary Rodham Clinton written by Reverend Bill Shillady has been pulled by the publisher for extensive and wide-spread plagiarism.

“Abingdon Press initiated an extensive review of the book and was alarmed to discover other content unattributed by the author. Abingdon Press has zero tolerance for plagiarism,” the Rev. Brian K. Milford, the president of the publishing company, said in a statement. “Consequently, we have discontinued sales, will remove existing copies from all sales outlets, and will have them destroyed along with our existing inventory.”

The book was a compilation of all the emails, quick sermons, and prayers that multiple pastors and friends had shared with Clinton during the campaign. Hillary wrote the forward for the book herself. Despite the Clinton encouragement, Shillady decided plagiarism wasn’t a big deal to him. His tune is completely different now. In a statement emailed to The Washington Post, Shillady takes responsibility for his actions:

“I deeply regret my actions. I was wrong and there is no excuse for it.”

It’s doubtful that Secretary Clinton had any awareness of the plagiarism of Rev. Bill Shillady, but it is interesting that Clinton would write a forward for a book without checking for such issues. Additionally, it is odd that the publisher wouldn’t have checked for obvious mistakes prior to publishing. Is this another case of the Clinton family being tied to sketchy situations or is this simply a mistake? When the Clinton crime family is concerned, anything is possible.
